Nike Magneto Sunglasses

Designed for top level Nike Track and Field Athletes,  these glasses were ahead of their time. Small adhesive medical grade patches embedded with magnets were placed on the wearers temples. The outer frames of the glasses had matching rare earth magnets inside so they locked into place.  Silicon vanes on the nose piece helped lock the glasses onto the wearers face. The final design was done by IDEO, but I was responsible for the concept and am part of the patent. These were made for a short period of time and while they worked great were ultimately too progressive.
